The three works on this second volume of Raff's piano works come from the very pinnacle of his career. The 1871 Fantasie Sonata is a fascinating and richly imaginative hybrid, whilst the Variations on an Original Theme is marked by fertility of invention. The Four Piano Pieces exemplifies Raff's gift for lyricism and characterization. Album Tracks 1. Allegro Patetico 2. Largo 3. Allegro Molto 4. Andante 5. Theme 6. Variation 1 L'istesso Tempo 7.

Fruhlingsnahen Allegro Non Troppo, Deciso 3. III. Gelubde Grave 4. IV. Unruhe Allegro 5. V. Annaherung Andantino 6. VI. Wirrniss Vivace 7. VII. Vorwurf Andante Non Troppo 8. VIII. Fern Andantino 9.
